Digital Photo Aspect Ratios

I'm still waiting for my Canon PowerShot S110 to get here (everyone is out of them − backordered through the roof), but until then I've been collecting info on digital photography tips and tricks. One is this handy aspect ratio guide provided by Ofoto for having prints made of your digital pictures.

Use the following general guidelines when sizing images to aspect ratios:

• For a 4 x 6" print, the image resolution should be 640 x 480 pixels minimum
• For a 5 x 7" print, the image resolution should be 1024 x 768 pixels minimum
• For an 8 x 10" print, the image resolution should be 1536 x 1024 pixels minimum
• For a 16 x 20" print, the image resolution should be 1600 x 1200 pixels minimum
• For a 20 x 30" print, the image resolution should be 1600 x 1200 pixels minimum
